Beer is known to be a staple in every Filipino inuman. It’s a popular choice of drink not only in the Philippines but in every part of the world because of its versatility. Celebrating success or venting out painful heartbreaks? A get together is not complete without a good iced cold bucket of beer. Wherever you are, whether you’re soaked under the sun at the beach, chilling at your barkada’s house, or with your relatives in a family reunion, beer is the perfect drink for any occasion. It has the power to bring people closer together and it allows conversations to flow smoother. Besides the fact that it’s an inexpensive choice, it also goes well with all kinds of food. From grilled barbecues to crunchy chicharron, we all love our pulutan and iced cold beer. As we celebrate National Beer Day, check out our top 10 beer recommendations:
